West Ham v Newcastle: Premier League – stay | Premier League

86 min: Newcastle are completely satisfied to take a seat again now and defend their lead. What a superb outcome this might be for Howe and co. Newcastle haven’t performed nicely however are 4 (and a bit) minutes away from one other three factors. And crucially, there have been no accidents earlier than Sunday’s last.

84 min: Potter throws on Ings for Ward-Prowse. One other striker thrown into the combination, though this West Ham XI now feels a bit jumbled and discombobulated.

83 min: Burn shouldn’t be the kind of particular person you’ll need to step in your toes. However that’s precisely what occurs to Scarles. Burn is booked.

80 min: I don’t assume Evan Ferguson has had a kick since approaching for West Ham.

78 min: Newcastle lastly make some adjustments. Callum Wilson, who has 12 objectives in 12 begins in opposition to West Ham, comes on for Isak. Barnes comes off for Willock.

75 min: “If Wan-Bissaka has again a number of the fashion and poise he confirmed earlier than his profession was destroyed at Previous Trafford, you can put collectively a Champions League contender with gamers who match that description over the previous seven to 10 years, he would most likely be a sensible choice for this 12 months’s England run-up matches,” emails Ken Houghton. “Pretty sure Graham Potter might get him there, and he’s the kind of participant Tuchel prefers, particularly when his different selections embrace Taylor Harwood-Bellis and the mercurial Harry Maguire. It’s a stretch, however 20-Half-hour in opposition to Albania isn’t a nasty thought”.

Yep, I might agree. I feel it’s helpful to have a proper again with Wan-Bissaka’s qualities within the squad. If England are defending a one-goal lead and they should convey on a defensive-minded proper again to guard the sport and neutralise an opposing winger, he’s a fantastic possibility. There’s no level having three attacking proper backs within the squad. I might take Trent Alexander-Arnold (who can even cowl in midfield), Kyle Walker (who can even cowl at centre-back) and perhaps Wan-Bissaka? Rico Lewis, Tino Livramento and Reece James are higher with the ball at their toes, however Wan-Bissaka has an actual USP along with his defensive qualities. And the West Ham proper again has had a fantastic season.

73 min: Pope is down with some kind of harm. The digicam cuts to a apprehensive Eddie Howe on the sidelines. I feel the Newcastle keeper goes to be OK to proceed.

Penalty shout for West Ham!

70 min: West Ham make one other change and it’s an attacking one: Evan Ferguson for Aaron Cresswell. A striker for a left again. It’s loopy to assume that Ferguson is simply 20.

68 min: There was some complaints from West Ham over the objective a few push from Isak on Kilman. There was contact however not sufficient to ship a 6ft4in centre again crashing to the turf.

66 min: West Ham make a triple change, though I feel they had been planning them earlier than the objective. Carlos Soler, Konstantinos Mavropanos and Lucas Paqueta come on for Edson Alvarez, Tomas Soucek and Jean-Clair Todibo.

GOAL! West Ham United 0-1 Newcastle United (Guimaraes 64)

Areola makes a marvel save!

60 min: There are a lot of the reason why Howe should be considering a substitute thus far, specifically as a result of Newcastle have been dreadful this second half. But additionally, certainly, as a result of he’ll need to defend his finest gamers earlier than Sunday’s League Cup last.

58 min: If Pickford and Ramsdale are No 1 and No2, who’s England’s third keeper lately? Pope? Henderson? Might even Burnley’s James Trafford or Ipswich’s Alex Palmer get a glance in?

56 min: Pope once more exhibits how flustered he might be with the ball at his toes, kicking the ball straight out for a throw-in beneath the slightest of stress from Bowen. I’m undecided Tuchel, within the stands tonight, can be notably impressed by the Newcastle keeper there.

54 min: Again come West Ham as they earns a nook, from which Ward-Prowse crosses deep for Kudus, who fully bungles a volley goalwards with little buy. Trippier simply clears.

51 min: West Ham look shiny! Nearly as if he learn my final put up, Kudus picks up the ball and drives down the left wing with goal, leaving Burn in his wake. Kudus crosses low, the ball skidding throughout Newcastle’s six-yard field, the place no person was there to faucet residence. That’s the kind of likelihood a pure striker would gobble up.

49 min: Schar makes a dangerous sort out on Kudus inside Newcastle’s field, however the Swiss will get simply sufficient of the ball to flee punishment. Just a few inches away from being a penalty.

47 min: The ball breaks to Kudus, who finds a pocket of house behind Trippier. However relatively than bomb down the left wing to assault Newcastle, simply as Bournemouth’s Kerkez did at Tottenham to such nice impact, Kudus inexplicably checks and recycles play. The transfer, inevitably, breaks down.

Peeeeeeeeep!

Half-time studying:

Half-time: West Ham United 0-0 Newcastle United

45 min: Two minutes added on. This half has not been a fantastic commercial for the Premier League and the one two English managers within the division.

43 min: Kudus races by on objective with solely Trippier for firm – West Ham’s quickest participant in opposition to Newcastle’s slowest. However relatively than take a shot on his weaker proper foot, Kudus checks again on his left foot and Trippier will get a toe in to interrupt up the West Ham transfer. Trippier additionally will get a wonderful block to disclaim Bowen within the second section of play.

41 min: Pope, wonderful shot stopper that he’s, is extremely ponderous on the ball when he’s not simply taking part in straightforward passes to his centre again. The Newcastle keeper is briefly caught with the ball out of his field and solely a slip from West Ham’s Alvarez lets the guests off the hook.

39 min: Now it’s Soucek that’s down, though it seems to be like he’s simply popping his boot again on. West Ham are in one thing of a low block, and seem like they’re making an attempt to carry on till half-time.

37 min: I’ll stage with you. This has not been a rip-snorter of a primary half. However there’s loads of time for that to alter.

35 min: After a short stoppage, Tonali is fortunately again on his toes and OK to renew the motion. However that scare will certainly make Howe assume twice about bringing a few of his finest gamers off later within the recreation.

33 min: Not nice information for Newcastle earlier than the Carabao Cup last. Tonali is down, clutching his knee. However replays present it seems to be like an influence harm after a sort out with Ward-Prowse, relatively than something ligament associated.

30 min: After a shiny begin, Kudus has been wasteful with possession. The West Ham creator is such a expertise however typically tries to do an excessive amount of. No participant within the Premier League has tried extra dribbles than the Ghanaian.

27 min: Thomas Tuchel is within the stands tonight, alongside West Ham sporting director Mark Noble. There are just a few lifelike choices on the pitch tonight for Tuchel’s consideration: Bowen, Livramento, Pope. Might Wan-Bissaka or Jacob Murphy get a call-up? They don’t scream ‘2026 World Cup winner’. However who is aware of lately.

25 min: Barnes exams Areola once more! Burn wins the knock down on the again put up from a Newcastle nook, with Barnes stealing in to nod in the direction of the close to put up. Areola palms the ball away.

23 min: It’s been a powerful 15-minute spell from Newcastle, however West Ham followers are roused by a Bowen run off the best. The ahead shoots straight at Pope, although.

20 min: Nice save from Areola! Barnes redirects a Trippier cross-shot and West Ham’s keeper is compelled to react rapidly and fling himself to his left, tipping the ball across the put up. From the ensuing nook, taken brief, there are half-hearted penalty appeals from Newcastle, as Guimaraes tumbles in West Ham’s field. However the referee, and subsequently VAR, waves play on.

18 min: A pleasant little slipped by ball from Guimaraes finds Barnes, however the Englishman will get his angles all incorrect, with a dinked end flying nicely vast.

15 min: A lull in play as Newcastle ping it across the again a bit with out creating something of observe.

13 min: Joelinton is penalised for a tug of Soucek’s shirt in an aerial duel. I’m struggling to consider a taller central midfield pairing.

11 min: Barnes, who will certainly begin in that left wing place within the Carabao Cup last if he stays match, cuts in off his flank and releases Murphy. Nevertheless it’s a poor go into the center in the direction of Isak.

9 min: “I feel this picture of Scott Parker with the Intertoto C̶u̶p̶ Plaque is an ideal metaphor for the psychological state of Newcastle (and doubtless West Ham) followers proper now, emails Chris Paraskevas. “Newcastle followers have been spending the final month making an attempt to disregard our pre-Cup-Remaining-Doom-Spiral® whereas Hammers followers have (most likely) spent the final month making an attempt to neglect Konstantinos Mavropanos is of their squad. I’m really not too certain anybody desires this fixture to go forward? If somebody does thw “Glenn Roeder Shuffle” as a objective celebration it might be value it, I suppose.”

7 min: It’s been a shiny begin by West Ham. Graham Potter is hopping across the technical space and clapping wildly.

5 min: Bowen wriggles away from Joelinton and whips a harmful cross into in the direction of Newcastle’s close to put up. Burn skews his clearance and is relieved to see it fly harmlessly over his personal bar.

3 min: Kudus loses the ball in midfield and Trippier is onto it in a flash. Solely a superb sliding sort out from Kilman stops a harmful Newcastle counter-attack. Kilman was out of place and absolutely dedicated to that sort out. He needed to win the ball, and he did.

1 min: Forty-three seconds on the clock and West Ham have a golden likelihood to open the scoring! Kudus turns Schar inside out on the left wing, crosses in the direction of Soucek on the again put up. The Czech worldwide takes a slipshod first contact however nonetheless evades Livramento however blazes over from six yards out along with his weaker foot. Soucek was on the stretch as he chased that heavy first contact however nonetheless ought to have buried it!

Peeeeeeeep!

The 2 groups are out on the London Stadium. West Ham of their well-known claret and blue, Newcastle of their modified turquoise/white strip.

Michail Antonio is on the stadium tonight and I’m happy to say he’s upright and strolling round as he receives a heat spherical of applause from the house followers, though he’s preventing again tears. What an emotional welcome for the striker who was concerned in a horror automobile crash simply three months in the past.

This was an attention-grabbing story from final week. If Angel Gomes was to affix West Ham, that might be an excellent larger squeeze on the minutes of James Ward-Prowse, Carlos Soler and Guido Rodríguez, amongst others. Ward-Prowse begins tonight once more and his return to the XI has coincided with these wins over Arsenal and Leicester, so he’s doing one thing proper.

Russell Martin, the previous Southampton supervisor, is the visitor pundit on Sky Sports activities tonight, right here within the UK. I’m wondering the place he would possibly find yourself. Many can be delay by the best way that Southampton performed within the Premier League this 12 months, however many really feel that the Saints have gotten worse since his departure. I might counsel that he didn’t have the gamers ok to suit his system, though he’s not with out fault.

Bear in mind the season earlier, Burnley had been relegated beneath Vincent Kompany, who had an analogous tactical evangelism. And the Belgian obtained the Bayern job. I’m not suggesting that Martin can be supervisor of a European big anytime quickly however I’m wondering if a European membership would possibly take a punt. There are different British coaches, equivalent to Liam Rosenior and Will Nonetheless, doing nicely overseas.

Should you had forgotten about Glenn Roeder, that is value a learn. It was written by Louise Taylor within the wake of Roeder’s demise in 2021.

It’s value noting that his stint as Newcastle supervisor was badly harm by the harm (accidents?) to Michael Owen, who was not solely unavailable for many of Roeder’s tenure but additionally took up loads of Newcastle’s switch and wage funds on the time.

Effectively, Howe hasn’t rested anybody. Truthful play, that’s Newcastle’s strongest facet – keep in mind that each Sven Botman and Lewis Corridor are out with longish-term accidents and Antony Gordon is suspended, following his purple cad at Brighton within the FA Cup.

Talking of Brighton, not a fantastic search for them or West Ham loanee Evan Ferguson that he can’t get a kick for a facet that’s missing a centre-forward. Jarrod Bowen leads the road once more for the Hammers, who to be truthful beat Arsenal (away) and Leicester within the final two video games.

The groups!
